Socialist Slavery is what the Obama administration is proposing. The nationalism of banks and private industry is only the beginning. It is not the governments responsibility to bail out businesses. Governments responsibility is to protect its citizens.

If you care about your country and our way of life, please attend the Tea Party on April 15th at Hilo Bayfront by Kamehameha statue and voice your displeasure against the Obama government.

The Hawaiian Superferry was finally killed by the Hawaiian Supreme Court. The environmentalist wackos finally got their wish and put 230 good people out of work. Good Job Enviro-Nuts. Good Job Sierra Club, how does it feel to destroy people’s lives to justify a false agenda to protect the planet. The Sierra Club are environment terrorists and fascists that have only one desire, to control your life.

It’s not only the the employees that will suffer, but businesses also: Love’s Bakery, Fedex, CFI, Expeditors were just a few local companies that used the Superferry for transportation of goods and services. This was good for the economy.

Oh, but you don’t care about the economy do you Sierra Club.

It’s the socialist agenda that you and Obama are pushing.

Choke on this you Cowards

With all the focus on AIG executive bonuses, the larger deficit picture is being ignored. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has predicted the Obama administration’s policies will generate deficits averaging nearly a Trillion dollars a year over the next decade. AIG bonuses were totaled at $165 Million and AIG received $182.5 Billion from the government bailout. The President and the Congress outraged by these bonuses, yet don’t seem to be equally outraged by the size of the deficit. Compare the size of the numbers. A Trillion has 12 zeros, whereas a million has 6 zeros after it. Consider that last year’s deficit was only $459 Billion, the largest on record, will now top $1.8 Trillion. A Trillion is a 1000 Billions. This is unsustainable because the national debt will grow too rapidly.

The Congress and the President don’t seem to care about the size of the deficit, but they are angry about executive bonuses? The size of the deficit should be alarming to everyone because this will affect everyone for years to come. Those of you that have children will be paying this off for years, and your children’s children and their grandchildren will be paying this off for years. Besides focusing anger at executives, the Congress passed a dangerous precedent of taxing the executive bonuses by 90 percent. This is a MOB mentality that will open the flood gates for Congress to tax anyone they deem unfavorable. Congress allowed the bonuses to be written into the bailout bill. What are our elected officials doing? Do they even read the bills they are passing? Why are we paying their salaries for incompetent work?

Now that the government owns 80 percent of AIG, are we expecting our government to run AIG’s business like they run their own business? Our country is being misled. We are being robbed by our own government. The same people who took campaign funds from AIG are in charge of running our government. As our President used to say on the campaign trail, “this is just another distraction”, and it is. AIG is a distraction, away from the larger picture, the deficit.

Steam Rising from the Pu’u ‘O ‘O Vent at Kapoho

People should be streamed about what the Congress and the President is doing. AIG should not be the focus of anger since these contracts were in place before AIG accepted the bailout money. What’s worst is the government’s attention on the executives that received the bonuses have brought death threats against the executives and their families. This pitch fork mob mentality is dangerous. Not just because of the violent threats against people, but the atmosphere that will be created. If you demonize a business, you destroy that business. Who will want to work for AIG? What will happen to the billions of our tax dollars used to bailout AIG if AIG employees are too fearful for their safety, and their families safety, to work for the company?

Leap of Faith?

SOCIALISM.

It’s been raining for two weeks now. There’s flooding everywhere on the roads. Pools of water are forming on people property like swimming pools. The temperature has been in the 60’s and that’s bone chilling cold to us. Sometimes the wind coming off the ocean makes the windchill seem even colder. We’re wearing socks, sweatpants and sweatshirts during the day and night. A heavy quilt on the bed just to keep warm at night. Such is our winters.

A View From the Lana’i

Without a doubt, our winter has arrived in full force. When we first moved here in 2005, our first winter on the islands, was one of the rainiest in 100 years of Hawaiian history. Dams burst on Kaua’i and landslides on O’Ahu, were just some of the huge water problems during that time. Luckily we live on a fairly level grade so fast rushing water is not a problem for us. However that’s not the case in other places in our subdivision.

Pohaku and 39th Avenue

The water rushing down like a torrent is fairly consistent with this topology here in the Orchidland subdivision. Eventually it will erode the land to a point where this intersection will be impassable without either a bridge or some other structure to withstand the water. There have been many efforts by the Orchidland Community Association to fix the problem, but each effort has failed due to association board members personal agendas. This is a real problem for this subdivision because our roads have been suffering as a result of people using the association board for their own personal order of business.

Desperation and Frustration

The roads are beginning to deteriorate due to the weather, and the lack of effort by the association board of directors. The Board has fallen into disarray and malaise due to members past and present forcing their own agendas into managing the subdivision. Mismanagement of Association Road Fees monies have brought lawsuits against the association by residents. Now, the road fees are being used to pay lawyers and the roads are falling into disrepair.

Potholes, but how deep?

You can wreck your cars suspension by driving through this all the time. You don’t know how deep the potholes are. This is a problem not only on the paved roads, but it’s worse on the unpaved roads. Just like our nations economy, the board spent money to fix a problem that needed to be fixed NOW! They spent money, lots of money, almost all the budget, on putting gravel on all of the 40 miles of unpaved roads in the year 2006. Now, they have no money to fix the roads. Now, the locals are resorting to beg for money to fix the roads the association cannot fix. Shameful.

Water Water Everywhere

Such is our winters, but this is what it’s all about. Lucky you live Hawai’i, is an expression that we always say.
